Conditions of Enrolment
Please refer to the Music Handbook for a full list of College policies on music lessons: Music Handbook 2025
- Enrolment in instrumental music lessons is a commitment for at least one whole semester (2 terms, 18 lessons).
- All students enrolled in music lessons at the College must participate in at least one College Band/Orchestra/Choir relevant to their instrument, when deemed ready by their tutor.
- Music lessons are timetabled during the day by the instrumental music tutor and priority is given to Year 12 students for recess, lunch and after school timeslots.
- Notice must be given directly to the tutor by 3pm the day prior to the lesson if a child is absent as a result of sickness. A lesson will then be made up if possible.
- Notice must be given directly to the tutor one week before the lesson if a child is absent due to any other reason. A lesson will then be made up if possible.
- Lessons missed due to absences deemed invalid by the College (eg. family holiday/vacation) will not be made up or refunded.
- Missed lessons (without sufficient notice) or withdrawal without the mandatory notice, will result in complete loss of fees (no refund).
- Instruments hired from the College must be maintained and returned in their original condition. Instruments are hired out, for one year only, at a cost of $255. Payment for hire will be charged in advance with College fees.
- Students are responsible for the security of their own instrument at all times, whether hired or privately owned. At the College, instruments must be stored in the instrument storeroom located in the Performing Arts Centre.
- Lesson enrolments are automatically rolled over for the following year/semester unless a ‘Notice of Intent to Withdraw from Music Lessons’ form is received.
- ‘Notice of Intent to Withdraw from Instrumental Lessons’ forms must be completed and returned to the Music Office before the end of Week 1 (for first semester withdrawals) or Week 17 (for second semester withdrawals). Withdrawal from lessons after these deadlines will result in a loss of fees paid. Changing tutor mid- semester is bound by the same policies.
